Chapter 174: Fleeing Without a Fight?
"Phew!"
As soon as they saw the corpses all over the ground around Zhang Dongzhe, everyone couldn't help but be shocked.
"Boom!"
But before the Terran soldiers and villagers could finish their sighs, a rapid sound of horses' hooves suddenly sounded in the distance.
"It's not good, it's the cavalry unit of the Zerg!" Hearing this voice, everyone couldn't help but be shocked.
If you encounter a Zerg force in an area close to the Terran base, everyone will not be as uncertain as they are now, but the problem is that this is already very close to the Zerg base, and the fear of the unknown overwhelms everyone. What's more, the cavalry units that can restrain the swordsmen and other melee arms are still coming, and with the characteristics of the opponent coming and going like the wind, whether it is an attack or a positional battle, their own side does not have an advantage.
Soon, this Zerg cavalry force showed its head, there were not many of them, only 11 cavalry, namely: 6 reconnaissance cavalry, 4 light cavalry and 1 knight, but when the cavalry troops charged in unison, the momentum was still quite amazing, at least the villagers on the Terran side were already pale, and they couldn't help but have the idea of escaping.
"Kill!"
However, Zhang Dongzhe was not like those Terran soldiers and villagers who were frightened by the might of the Zerg cavalry, and in the face of the rushing Zerg cavalry troops, he instead clamped the horse's belly and launched a counter-charge alone.
"Whew!"
Seeing that Zhang Dongzhe dared to step forward to meet the battle alone, those Zerg cavalry immediately became excited, howled one after another, kept slapping the war horses under the seat, scattered the formation, and planned to directly surround it and quickly kill it before the Terran army caught up.
"Whoosh!"
After the two sides approached a certain distance, Zhang Dongzhe suddenly twisted his horse's body, and actually ran out sideways, leaving the Zerg cavalry at his side, ignoring that the latter had already drawn his saber and was ready to fight.
"He's ...... Do? ”
"Do you want to run away?"
Seeing this scene, the soldiers on both sides were stunned for a moment.
However, those Zerg cavalry did not change their direction and continued to surround Zhang Dongzhe, the distance between the two sides was too close, and it was too late to make a temporary turn, rather than messing up the formation like that, it was better to directly attack the Terran army in the rear.
At this time, the Terran soldiers who were forming a formation to protect the villagers in the back were also dumbfounded, although they outnumbered their opponents, they were mainly swordsmen, and they were at a disadvantage in the face of the cavalry itself, plus they had to protect the villagers in the middle of the team, and they couldn't move and dodge at will, and they were even more stretched.
"Kill!"
Under the leadership of the knight, the 6 scout cavalry and 4 light cavalry of the Zerg stabbed at the Terran battle formation like an arrow, and the knight who rushed to the front undertook most of the long-range attacks, with a maximum of 100 points of health and a shield value of 2 points.
"Bang!"
"Phew!"
"Poof!"
The soldiers at the forefront of the Terran side were several swordsmen, and the reason why they didn't let the spearmen and pikemen in front was because they were afraid of being attacked by the opponent's concentrated fire, so they used the swordsmen to take damage first, and then let the spearmen and pikemen take the damage.
It's just that those swordsmen couldn't stop the momentum of the Zerg cavalry at all, and after the other party approached the Terran swordsman, he actually twisted the horse's head slightly, jumped past him, and at the same time, the saber in his hand also cut at the latter's body mercilessly, causing full damage, and then a famous Zerg cavalry made the same action, and output a huge amount of damage without receiving an attack on himself.
After just one round of charge, two swordsmen on the Terran side were severely damaged, but fortunately, the spearmen and pikemen behind hurriedly rushed forward and snatched them back, so they were not directly killed by the follow-up Zerg cavalry.
But even so, the damage exchange ratio between the two sides can also show the huge advantage of cavalry over melee classes such as swordsmen.
It has to be said that although spearmen and pikemen are the main force against cavalry, they can only be pressed and beaten by the opponent without forming a numerical superiority. What's more, the Terran forces also have to protect the vulnerable villagers, and some spearmen and pikemen must be left behind to deter their opponents.
And the swordsman and other melee troops are indeed at a disadvantage when facing the cavalry, and can only be beaten by the opponent.
As for the ranged attack classes in the Terran team, although they have been trying to attack, because the Zerg cavalry they faced had 2 shield points on their bodies, and the extremely fast speed after charging, which was enough to cancel out most of the damage, the former's attack effect was extremely poor.
In this case, everyone can only put their hopes on Zhang Dongzhe, who has just "escaped", hoping that he can return and turn the tide.
"Poof!"
"Phew!"
"Phew!"
“……”
The more those Zerg cavalry fought, the more relaxed they became, and each round of attack, because they could choose the attack position and angle at will, they did not receive many attacks, and they always occupied a large advantage, constantly beating a celebrity Terran soldier to the ground.
"Hahahaha!"
Soon, several rounds of attacks passed, and more than half of the soldiers on the Terran side were beaten back into the battle formation, and there were few soldiers left in the outer defense, which could only be said to be barely protecting the villagers and wounded soldiers in the battle array, on the other hand, the cavalry on the Zerg side only lost one-third of their health on average, and it can be said that their combat effectiveness was not affected at all.
Seeing this, those Zerg cavalry laughed out loud and stepped up their offensive in order to be able to deal with this stupid Terran team that came up to send them to death in the shortest possible time.
Fortunately for the Terran soldiers and villagers, the killing efficiency of the opponent's guerrilla attack is not very high, and it cannot quickly expand the results of the battle, so they only have wounded soldiers, and no soldiers have been killed for the time being.
This is actually the main reason why Zhang Dongzhe rushed into the Zerg melee force before, if he wants to increase the output efficiency to the maximum, or the best output effect of the standing pile, whether it is cavalry or infantry, the battle in the metaverse is a little different from the real universe after all, even the thinnest villagers are difficult to be directly knocked into the air.
Just when everyone felt that the situation of the battle could not be reversed, the sound of horses' hooves suddenly came from a distance.
Because of the relative movement of the two belligerents, no one noticed him until the man and the horse came near.
"Huh! It's the Terran knight who escaped! ”
"Kill him first!"
"Up!"
"Kill!"
On one side is a knight, and on the other side is 11 cavalrymen with an average loss of one-third of blood, anyone can deduce the result of the battle, so when he saw Zhang Dongzhe fleeing before, those Terran soldiers and villagers did not blame him, after all, the latter has killed many Zerg units, including dozens of Zerg soldiers and more than a dozen Zerg villagers, it can be described as a brilliant result, after such a big battle, it must have been hit hard, and it is unwise to continue to entangle with the Zerg cavalry.
